Last night saw the premiere of Supergirl on The CW. All in all, it was an okay episode, one that was buoyed more on the strength of its lead than the strength of its writing.

It did, however, show us a side of Supergirl that we rarely get to see — a more vulnerable and dark side. One that’s less happy-go-lucky, and a bit moodier. Makes sense, given the loss of Mon-El last season.

While she may have overcome some emotional pitfalls least season, that’s not to say it’ll be easy from this point forward. This latest episode, “Triggers,” she’ll be going up against someone with crazy good psychic abilities. It’s not clear just how powerful she is, but it looks like she very much has the ability to bring Supergirl to her knees — or so the trailer teases.

Supergirl is based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, who after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul Cat Grant. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency, enlists her to help protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats.
